Wow thank you so much for explaining the joke!

Is he?

Really? You see a lot of CSAM? That’s not my understanding of it at all, but I’ll defer to the expert

How does CSAM tell you anything about the abuser? It only reveals the victim.

You want kid’s histories of child abuse viewable for… evidence?

Wow… yeah, we need to re-traumatize kids by posting their naked bodies online because that’s how we prove Epstein really abused kids

You want the CSAM to be viewable? You are calling for the public release of CSAM?

Oh I’m sorry that you only got the text releases, you really want the photos and videos that make up 98% of the data?

Edit: not defending the DoJ for covering up emails but “percentage of data” is a stupid metric here

Not just the constant exposure but the failure of traditional media to maintain their influence leads to people being in echo chambers.

Yup. People hate when it’s the easy answer but there’s no huge conspiracy. Traditional economists were terrified about the potential shift at the fed and Trump picked an establishment guy. The dollar got stronger, while crypto, gold, and silver crashed.

The other part here is that crypto had a decent bump when Trump won, but before he took office. Investors were excited about him as a pro-crypto president

Am I being trolled or do people not know how years work

Oh boy. I just reread your edited comments. It’s hard to keep up when you edit like that

But yes, I would still care to hear your 40s and 50s examples. If you have one where overture+credits approaches 10 minutes, I’d be shocked. As we’ve discussed, some examples in the 60s can hit 5 minutes, but that’s about the most I’ve seen

Which Lawrence of Arabia version from the 40s or 50s (your words) are you referring to?

If you mean the famous 60s film…. Yes, it has a minute of credits and another 4 or 5 for the overture. Not credits.

Again, still looking for examples of extended credit sequences. Overtures are basically the same as intermissions. That’s a totally different beast.

Even if you want to lump them together, we’re still at the “one or two” I mentioned. Huge Hollywood blockbusters. Exceedingly rare.

Why do people keep naming 60s films with 4 minutes of musical intros when I’m asking for 40s and 50s films with 10 minute credit intros lol?

Edit: overture is the word I was looking for, not “musical intro”. But that’s not a thing that happened in early cinema (barring Chaplin, who had strict control of scores - would be interested if someone else cares to google that)

4 minutes. That’s a great example of the rare symphonic opening I was referencing.

But that’s also not the 40s or 50s.

Wait until you see a Pizza Hut pizza

Please name one. Never seen one that had more than 2 minutes of opening credit even if you include the extra symphonic stuff as “credits” (we don’t count previews toward runtimes now, so not sure it’s a fair comparison). Maybe one or two had a dedicated symphonic opening but that was exceedingly rare

The Truffaut film referenced is an hour and 45 minutes.

What movie had 10 minutes of opening credits? Back when credits were at the open, it used to be about 30 seconds of credits.

Keep on rocking in Greenland

Edit: help, I’ve had this song stuck in my head with the fake lyric for an hour

Minor celebrity called 911 or 999 or whatever

Literally the story

Damn well I was pretty high and don’t even remember what it said lol. I probably put it on the wrong post or something
